Happy reading!
As the sun began to set on a warm summer evening, anticipation filled the air in Sarah's childhood home. It had been three long years since she had last set foot in this familiar place, and today was the day she would finally return.
Sarah's mother, Mrs.Khan, couldn't contain her excitement. She bustled around the house, preparing all of Sarah's favorite dishes with love and care. The aroma of freshly baked cookies and savory dishes wafted through the air, creating an atmosphere of warmth and nostalgia.
Meanwhile, Mr.khan, Sarah's father, had taken it upon himself to make a special trip to the store. He returned with a box of Sarah's beloved chocolates, a small but thoughtful gesture to welcome her back.
Unknown to Sarah, her entire extended family had come to surprise her. Her cousins, aunts, uncles, and even her grandparents were all eagerly waiting for her arrival. They had gathered in the living room, exchanging stories and reminiscing about the moments they had shared with Sarah before she left.
As the clock ticked closer to Sarah's expected arrival time, the excitement in the house reached its peak. The sound of laughter and animated conversations filled the air, each family member sharing their anticipation and joy.
Finally, the front door swung open, and Sarah stepped into the house. Her eyes widened in surprise as she took in the scene before her – the room filled with smiling faces, arms outstretched for hugs, and the overwhelming feeling of love and warmth.
"Sarah!" her mother exclaimed, tears of joy welling up in her eyes. "Welcome home, my darling! We've missed you more than words can express."
Sarah, her heart filled with happiness, rushed into her mother's embrace. "Mom, I've missed you too. It feels so good to be back."
Her younger brother, Adnaan, couldn't contain his excitement. He bounded towards Sarah, a wide grin on his face. "Sis, you're finally here! I've been counting down the days. I can't wait to show you all the things I've learned and tell you all the stories!"
As Sarah took in the sight of her loved ones, a gentle tap on her shoulder brought her attention to Rabbia. Sarah's heart skipped a beat as memories flooded back, reminding her of the complicated relationship she once had with Rabbia.
With a warm smile, Rabbia enveloped Sarah in a tight embrace, her excitement palpable. "Welcome back, Sarah! I've missed you so much," Rabbia exclaimed.
Sarah couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. As she held onto Rabbia, she couldn't help but remember the times when her cousin Rehan seemed to favor Rabbia's company over hers. Jealousy would often bubble up inside her, leaving her feeling left out and unnoticed.
But as Sarah stood there, surrounded by her family, she realized that time had a way of healing old wounds. She looked into Rabbia's eyes, seeing nothing but genuine happiness for her return. In that moment, Sarah made a silent promise to herself to embrace the present and cherish the bond she shared with Rabbia.
The past may have held its challenges, but now, in this moment, Sarah was determined to create new memories and strengthen the ties that had brought them together as family.
